RE: Gulper Eeltober [INKTOBER 3 in 1 catchup post]
I think this is the most clever ink I have seen thus far.
There is a youtube video out there of some researchers who met just this fish. It is bloody amazing what nature can come up with.
Not sure about the ring part, but everything else is awesome.
The "ring" part is the overall shape of the gulper eel eating its own tail. My concept was to do an ouroboros (traditionally a snake eating its own tail), with the overall shape being the ring, the bait hopefully being obvious (the tail), and the mindless also hopefully obvious (eating yer own tail not particularly mindful LOL). Thanks for the complement! My kids are obsessed with deep sea creatures and had been talking about gulper eels so that was on my mind. I watched a cool clip last night, might be the one you referenced, of researchers who get really excited when a gulper eel swims up then inflates itself like a balloon :)
